Caution on the dirt roads, Annual Silver City Races, and more

Good morning all,

Had an email from Marg in Bourke during the week, things are winding down up there, and it seems the case in most areas. It’s that time of the year isn’t it. Got to start thinking about what Santa is going to bring us. Yes life goes on, a woman said to me she was approaching 40. I couldn’t help wondering, from which direction!

Who said there was no rain coming? Very scattered but great for those under it. Caution on the dirt roads as usual. They tell me there is more on the horizon.

All roads lead to Broken Hill next weekend. The Annual Silver City Races next Saturday, make a weekend out of it.

We then have 2 lovely ladies down at Wentworth, celebrating their 110th. and 120th. birthdays!  The Paddle steamers Ruby and Marion! Great weekend down at Wentworth  on the 3/4/5th. Heaps going on to keep you entertained.

If you’re going to stick around the Hill, then the Broken Hill Markets are on the 29th. Day after the races. Alain Louvel, French chef and wine expert will be there, he’ll give you a laugh.

I am running out of events, being this time of the year. So if any of you good people have something coming up before Christmas, please let me know so I can spread the word. Otherwise I may be wise to retire myself till the new season is upon us.

In the meantime, our trusty radio stations are always there bringing you all up to date with our great far west.

Let’s have your thoughts and we’ll meet again next week, cheers for now, Bill Elliott. Wilcannia Community Tourism Association.
